The story follows protagonist Yuuji Kazami (a very mysterious character in his own right, but I’ll get to that) as he enrolls in Mihama Academy, an unusual, isolated private school on the outskirts of a small Oceanside town outside Tokyo. Keeping that in mind, I’ll describe the plot in no uncertain terms. Any official plot descriptions rely heavily on metaphors, making the actual plot quite unclear. I was utterly unfamiliar with the Grisaia series, and any descriptions I’d seen online did little to show what the game was actually about. I knew very little about The Fruit of Grisaia going into it. This is actually a remarkably accurate translation. Only the first game has been released so far, with the others following at some undetermined points in the future. The English version comes by way of a Kickstarter project by Sekai Project to release official translations of the entire trilogy. I played the Steam version with the restoration patch. A free fan-made restoration patch to add the 18+ elements to the Steam version was released by Imouto Works in February 2016. The English localization was released on Steam in its all-ages form by Sekai Project in May 2015, followed by an eroge version by Denpasoft in August. The Fruit of Grisaia was originally released by Frontwing in Japan in 2011 as the first part of a trilogy of visual novels, followed by The Labyrinth of Grisaia in 2012 and The Eden of Grisaia in 2013. Therefore, I will keep this review concise so that my core point gets across as clearly as possible.
There’s a lot for me to say here, but at the same time my opinion is very simple. Ordinarily I’d start off a review with some background information, maybe establish context, and slowly ease myself into it and take my time to explain how I feel about the game in question. Visual Novel, Eroge, Romance, Comedy, Nakige
An all-ages version of the game is available as well.
Author’s Note: The version of The Fruit of Grisaia referenced in the following review contains numerous hardcore sex scenes.
